THE HOLY SPIRIT LOVES US

-do not be anxious abt anything, but offer prayer with thanksgiving and the peace of God will fill our heart and mind

   -look to the Lord!

-God still wants to be present both in good times and bad but mankind hid themselves

   -as time goes by, mankind walked further and further away from God... man fails to recognize Him

-Moses pleaded to God... without God's personal present, Moses wont want to go

-its the presence of God with us that distinguishes us as His ppl... not our talents, riches

-when we call out to God, He is merciful

-as such, dont be afraid

-God wants to dwell in His ppl... Jesus came and dwelt with His ppl

   -for 33.5 years crucified, died, buried and on the 3rd day rose and ascended to heaven

-the personal presence of God is the Holy Spirit abiding in us forever

God has nv left... be anxious for nothing

-when we are in trouble, God didnt send someone else to help us, but God Himself help us

-the Holy Spirit knows what we are going through

   -He weeps when we weep, He laugh when we laugh

thanksgiving

1. thanksgiving

-in everything, give thanks for who God is...

   -dont let anything rob us

2. praise

-dont let fear robs us from our praise

-praise cures depression

praise has a voice!

3. worship

-worship demands presence

   -we have to be present with our full being (focus, mind and spirit).. just like God is present

      -a person cannot be fulling present when multi tasking

to push the pause botton, and put aside everything and give God our full attention

BUT GOD - THE GOD FACTOR

God is going to be present in any situation we are in and will nv leave us or abandon us

-faith needs to be reminded

   -the scripture reminds us of the promises of God

peace is achieved by the defeat of the enemy

-under our feet.. we need to make a decision

   -we can't ask God to do it for us

the God Factor wins over every other thing in our life

-bad things may happen... it doesnt mean God is not with us

-we may find ourselves more troubles and problems than others who are non believers... cos we are swimming upwards against the stream

look to God and not man

when we find ourselves in trouble, pray!

-ppl forget God

-we should pray for a supernatural miracle when we are in a situation

-God can help us but through us!
   -we need to take a step of faith

if we wait for a convenient time, its nv going to come

don't wait ard and rmb God

-don't fear failure or what other ppl think of us
   -remember the Lord!

those negative thoughts

-we need to learn how to lose or fail to get up again
-instead of thinking tt we are no good, we need to have a determination to build up our resilience, character within and perseverance

have faith in God

God knows the way and solution... and He will provide the way to those who believe and have faith in Him

-so many other factors, but don't rmb the God Factor!
   -put God in our thoughts instead of the problems

-if we feel like we are not able to take any steps forward anymore, nothing else we can do... don't step back!
   -just stand, hold our ground... God will come, problem will evaporate

fear not, for God is with you

3 situations we need the God Factor

1. when you are fearful

-God uses ppl to bring His Spirit, His life, His Word into each others' heart
-encourage one another and build each other up!

put faith cos the world is putting fear!

2. when we've got ourselves in a mess

3. when we've under pressure

-we could be in a fire of any situation
